shows
North
Belmont
Avenue
,
between
Mitchell
Boulevard
and
Levee
Road
,
facing
southeast
. In the
background
can
be
seen
some
of the
building
of the
International
Harvester
Company
. The
International
Harvester
Company
Plant
was
located
at
Buck
Creek
and
Lagonda
Avenue
.
It
was a
divisional
plant
manufacturing
motor
trucks
. The
roots
of
International
Harvester
can
be
traced
back
to the
1830s
,
when
Cyrus
Hall
McCormick
, an
inventor
from
Virginia
,
finalized
his
version
of a
horse-drawn
reaper
. The
reaper
was
demonstrated
in
tests
in
1831
and was
patented
by
Cyrus
in
1834
.
Together
with his
brother
,
McCormick
moved
to
Chicago
in
1847
and
started
the
McCormick
Harvesting
Machine
Company
. The
McCormick
reaper
sold
well
,
partially
as a
result
of
savvy
and
innovative
business
practices
. Their
products
came
onto the
market
just
as the
development
of
railroads
offered
wide
distribution
to
distant
market
areas
. He
developed
marketing
and
sales
techniques
,
developing
a
vast
network
of
trained
salesmen
able
to
demonstrate
operation
of the
machines
in the
field
.
McCormick
died
in
Chicago
, with his
company
passing
on to his
son
,
Cyrus
McCormick
,
Jr
. In
1902
, the
McCormick
Harvesting
Machine
Company
and
Deering
Harvester
Company
,
along
with
three
smaller
agricultural
equipment
firms
(Milwaukee
;
Plano
; and
Warder
,
Bushnell
, and
Glessner
(manufacturers
of
Champion
brand))
were
purchased
by
J.P
.
Morgan
and
merged
together
to
create
the
International
Harvester
Company
. In
1919
, the
Parlin
and
Orendorff
factory
in
Canton
,
Illinois
grew
with a
ranking
of
number
one
in the
plow
manufacturing
industry
. They were
successful
many
decades
,
producing
everything
from
tractors
and
automobiles
to
home
appliances
and the
Cub
Cadet
lawn
mowers
.
International
Harvester's
downfall
started
in the
1980s
. In
order
to
stay
in
business
, they
sold
the
Ag
business
to
Tenneco
,
Inc
in
1984
. In
1986
Harvester
changed
the
corporate
name
to
Navistar
International
Corporation
(having
sold
the
International
Harvester
name
and the
IH
symbol
to
Tenneco
Inc
. as
part
of the
sale)
.
Navistar
International
Corporation
continues
to
manufacture
medium-
and
heavy-duty
trucks
,
school
buses
, and
engines
under
the
International
brand
name
.
